Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] allow people to disambiguate built_with_use in upgrade situations

1 Diego is proposing a new flag to built_with_use to handle the corner case
2 where you query a package that does not have the requested flag in IUSE
3
4 built_with_use [--missing <action>] ...
5
6 so in the case of version transitions, you can specify the <action> as either
7 true, false, or die (only current option)
8
9 seems like a cleaner solution than forcing what can be a rats nest of
10 has_version checks
